I've been beta testing the 2.0 build of SimplyTweet for about a few weeks now, and its excellent. A great thing is that the push notifications are for all direct messages and mentions, not just direct messages and mentions from other SimplyTweet users. I suggest you try the lite version first, which has no ads, just limited features (and no push). If you like it, buy the full version. Another great thing: This dev (MotionObj) ads new features like crazy. You can expect big updates to the app every week or two with great new features.

If your one of those people who hates twitter and you find it useless, you can just kinda ignore this thread

If any of you are looking for a good, solid twitter app loaded with features (especially Push), I suggest you look at SimplyTweet. The 2.0 version just came out onto the app store.

I just posted it. Lol. PM me, gots a question to see if you have the same glitch as I do.

I'd say definitely worth looking at. While it has less features than the paid (obviously) it still has tons of features. I know people who use the lite version as their main twitter app.

I know that currently the lite version doesn't have push, but I would guess it may be updated soon to have some push features, though you may be limited to only a few pushed items a day since its the lite version.

I just discovered the lack of push with the lite version. I wont be buying any other twitter apps(I have twittelator) until one proves the push theory well. Thanks for the info!

Here's a review of 2.0 by Stephen Ingraham, and he says:

Did I say Push Notifications push notifications that work the way you always expected push to function. I did!
SimplyTweet stands to be the first full featured Twitter app out the door with truely functional Push Notifications.

I've been beta testing as well and I have to say, it's a damn good app. I can also vouch (and I haven't even been testing that long, maybe two weeks) that updates are like crazy and new features are always being added. I love devs that continue to improve their apps.

hmmmmm...... well the push worked for me.... i got a DM and it came through just like a text message! i'm disappointed in the themes cuz i thought it would be the bubbles but in different colors... i'd really have liked the pink done in bubbled rather than just the boxes.....

however.... the app won't work on hubby's phone???? it keeps "crashing" out???? he's deleted and redownloaded it several times but it still keeps doing it!?????

Yep there is a bug that causes the app to crash at startup. From the app store description:

Known BUG: The application crashes if you load a mentions or direct messages timeline when they are empty. The workaround is to send yourself a mention or direct message (i.e. send yourself one and don't empty the timelines after that).

So he can send himself a DM and mention himself, or go to the settings app and set it so that the DM and mentions timelines don't load at startup.

I've been testing this for a few weeks - works well. It checks for updates around every 5 to 10 minutes, but if you've had the app open it seems to check more often straight after, in case you've got a reply to something you just tweeted. Pretty clever really.
